Winemaker Notes
Sourced from the southeast corner of Washington State, our Walla Walla Red Blend is full-bodied with an opulent color combination of dark purple and indigo blue. The nose swirls with scents of crushed violets, wild berries, allspice and hazelnuts. A rich palate boasts flavors of briary blackberry, dark cherry and boysenberry with layered hints of clove and spiced nuts on a smooth finish.

Tasting Panel
Aged in French oak for 22 months, this blend of 45% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Petit Verdot, 5% Grenache, and 5% Cab Franc represents a fine vintage and possesses abundant personality. Scents of ripe cherry, vanilla, and hazelnut lead to a juicy and bright palate. Tannins are slightly chalky—perhaps with an accent of briar— and cocoa, cranberry, and spice provide lift on the finish.

James Suckling
Cool aromas of ripe red and black fruit with notes of vanilla and spice. Full-bodied with integrated, velvety tannins. Salty on the palate with a hint of sweet tobacco. Earthy finish.
